1. A fish has a head 9" long. The tail is equal to the size of the head plus one-half the size of the body. The body is the size of the head plus the tail." How long is the fish? 27" - 54" - 63" - 72" - 81"

Explanation

According to the given information, the tail is equal to the size of the head plus one-half the size of the body. The body is the size of the head plus the tail. Therefore, the length of the body is 9" + (9"/2) = 9" + 4.5" = 13.5". The length of the tail is also 9" + (13.5"/2) = 9" + 6.75" = 15.75". Finally, adding the length of the head (9"), body (13.5"), and tail (15.75") together gives us a total length of 9" + 13.5" + 15.75" = 38.25". Therefore, the correct answer is 38.25", which is not one of the options provided.

2. If you rearrange the letters "BARBIT", you would have the name of a: OCEAN - COUNTRY - STATE - CITY - ANIMAL

Explanation

By rearranging the letters "BARBIT", we can form the word "RABBIT". However, none of the given options match the word "RABBIT". Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined from the given options.

Submit
3. Which one of the five makes the best comparison? Bullet is to gun as ball is to: BAT - SLINGSHOT - CANNON - PITCHER - CATAPULT

Explanation

The best comparison in this analogy is between a bullet and a bat. Both a bullet and a bat are objects that are used in conjunction with another object for a specific purpose. A bullet is used with a gun, and a bat is used with a ball. The other options, such as slingshot, cannon, pitcher, and catapult, do not fit the analogy as well because they do not have the same direct relationship as a bullet and a bat do.

Submit
4. Mary had a number of cookies. After eating one, she gave half the remainer to her sister. After eating another cookie, she gave half of what was left to her brother. Mary now had only five cookies left. How many cookies did she start with? 11 - 22 - 23 - 45 - 46

Explanation

Mary started with 11 cookies. After eating one, she had 10 cookies left. She gave half of the remaining 10 cookies (5 cookies) to her sister, leaving her with 5 cookies. Then, she ate another cookie, leaving her with 4 cookies. She gave half of the remaining 4 cookies (2 cookies) to her brother, leaving her with 2 cookies. Finally, she ate one more cookie, leaving her with 1 cookie. Therefore, Mary started with 11 cookies.

Submit

6. Jack is taller than Peter, and Bill is shorter than Jack. Which of the following statements would be most accurate? (A) Bill is taller than Peter. (B) Bill is shorter than Peter. (C) Bill is as tall as Peter. (D) It is impossible to tell whether Bill or Peter is taller.

Explanation

To solve this, let's analyze the relationships given:

Jack is taller than Peter.

Bill is shorter than Jack.

From these statements, we know the following about their heights:

Jack > Peter

Jack > Bill

However, the information provided does not directly compare Bill's height to Peter's. Since all we know is that Jack is taller than both, but no direct comparison between Bill and Peter is made, we can't determine the relative heights of Bill and Peter from the information given.

Submit
7. If you rearrange the letters "RAPIS", you would have the name of a: OCEAN - COUNTRY - STATE - CITY - ANIMAL

Explanation

When you rearrange the letters "RAPIS," you can form the name of the city "PARIS." Each letter is used to create the name of a city, and in this case, the arrangement results in the well-known city name "PARIS."

Submit
8. Which one of the five makes the best comparison? Tree is to ground as chimney is to: SMOKE - BRICK - SKY - GARAGE - HOUSE

Explanation

A tree is connected to the ground, just like a chimney is connected to a house. The relationship in the question describes an attachment or foundational connection. A tree grows from the ground, and a chimney is built as part of a house. The other options, such as smoke or sky, relate to what comes out of a chimney but do not establish the same structural connection that the question is asking for.

Submit
9. Which one the five is least like the other four? STOCKING - DRESS - SHOE - PURSE - HAT

Explanation

The correct answer is "Stocking" because it is the only item that is worn on the feet, while the other four items (Dress, Shoe, Purse, Hat) are worn on different parts of the body.

Submit
10. Which one of the five makes the best comparison? CAACCAC is to 3113313 as CACAACAC is to: (A) 13133131 (B) 13133313 (C) 31311131 (D) 31311313 (E) 31313113

Explanation

To solve this problem, we need to identify the pattern or rule that translates the sequence of letters in "CAACCAC" into the sequence of numbers "3113313". Once we understand this rule, we can apply it to the sequence "CACAACAC" to find the corresponding number sequence among the choices given.

Looking at "CAACCAC" and "3113313":

C is translated to 3,

A is translated to 1.

Now, let's apply this pattern to "CACAACAC":

C translates to 3,

A translates to 1.

So "CACAACAC" becomes:

C -> 3

A -> 1

C -> 3

A -> 1

A -> 1

C -> 3

A -> 1

C -> 3

Resulting sequence: 31311313.

Submit
11. Which one of the five is least like the other four? BOTTLE - CUP - TUB - FUNNEL - BOWL

Explanation

A funnel is least like the other four items because it is primarily used for directing liquids or fine-grained substances into containers with a small opening. The other four items—bottle, cup, tub, and bowl—are primarily used as containers for holding liquids or other substances.

Submit
12. John, twelve years old, is three times as old as his brother. How old will John be when he is twice as old as his brother?

Explanation

Submit
13. If Alex's son is my son's father, what am I to Alex?

Explanation

If Alex's son is my son's father, that means my son is Alex's son. Therefore, I am the father of my son and Alex's grandfather.

Submit
14. John received $.41 change from a puchase in the drugstore. If he received six coins, three of the coins had to be: PENNIES - NICKLES - DIMES - QUARTERS - HALF-DOLLARS

Explanation

Since John received $.41 change and six coins in total, it is not possible for any of the coins to be worth more than $.41. Therefore, the only possible coin that could be included in the three coins is the penny, which is worth $.01. This means that the correct answer is pennies.

Submit
15. Which one of the five choices makes the best comparison? LIVE is to EVIL as 5232 is to: (A) 2523 (B) 3252 (C) 2325 (D) 3225 (E) 5223

Explanation

If you reverse the word "LIVE," it becomes "EVIL." Applying the same principle to the numbers, reversing the digits of 5232 results in 2325. Thus, among the given choices, the correct answer is 2325. This is the best comparison because both instances involve reversing the order of characters or digits.

Submit
16. The price of an article was cut 20% for a sale. By what percent must the item be increased to again sell the article at the original price? 15% - 20% - 25% - 30% - 40%

Explanation

If the price of an article is cut by 20% for a sale, it means the article is being sold for 80% of its original price. To sell the article at the original price again, the price must be increased by 20% of the original price (which is 100%). Therefore, the item must be increased by 25%  to sell the article at the original price.

Submit
17. Which one of the five makes the best comparison? Milk is to glass as letter is to: STAMP - PEN - ENVELOPE - BOOK - MAIL

Explanation

Milk is poured into a glass, which serves as a container for it, just as a letter is placed inside an envelope. The relationship in the question is one of containment—just as a glass holds milk, an envelope holds a letter. The other options do not fit this pattern. A stamp is placed on a letter, but it does not contain it. A pen is used to write a letter, but it does not hold it. Mail refers to the delivery process, not the container.

Submit
18. Which one of the five is least like the other four? BEAR - SNAKE - COW - DOG - TIGER

Explanation

The word "Bear" is least like the other four because it is the only animal that is not a carnivore. The other four animals, lion, wolf, dog, and tiger, are all carnivores, whereas bears are omnivores.

Submit
19. Which one of the five makes the best comparison? Brother is to sister as niece is to: MOTHER-DAUGHTER - AUNT - UNCLE - NEPHEW

Explanation

The relationship between brother and sister is that of male and female siblings. Similarly, the relationship between niece and nephew follows the same pattern—one is female (niece), and the other is male (nephew). The other options do not maintain this parallel relationship. Mother and daughter describe a parent-child relationship, while aunt and uncle refer to the siblings of a parent. Thus, nephew is the best answer as it directly corresponds to niece in gendered family roles.

Submit
20. John's mother sent him to the store to get 9 large cans of peaches. John could only carry 2 cans at a time. How many trips to the store did John have to make? 4 - 4½ - 5 - ½ - 6

Explanation

Submit
21. Which one of the four is least like the other four? TOUCH - TASTE - HEAR - SMILE - SEE

Explanation

The word "Touch" is least like the other four because "Touch" is the only sense that involves physical contact with an object or person, while the other four senses (Taste, Hear, Smile, See) do not require physical contact.

Submit
22. Which one of the five is least like the other four? WHEAT - HAY - BARLEY - OATS - RICE

Explanation

The other four options (hay, barley, oats, rice) are all types of grasses or grains, whereas wheat is a type of cereal grain. Therefore, wheat is least like the other four options.

Submit
23. Which one of the five is least like the other four? POTATO - CORN - APPLE - CARROT - BEAN

Explanation

The correct answer is Potato because it is the only one that is not a type of vegetable. The other four options (Corn, Apple, Carrot, and Bean) are all types of vegetables, while Potato is a tuber.

Submit
24. Which one of the numbers does not belong is the following series? 2 - 3 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 14 - 15 - 30

Explanation

The numbers in the given series follow a pattern of alternating between adding and subtracting 1, then multiplying by 2. Starting with 2, we subtract 1 to get 1, then multiply by 2 to get 2. We add 1 to get 3, then multiply by 2 to get 6. This pattern continues with the rest of the numbers. However, the number "Three" does not fit this pattern. Therefore, "Three" is the number that does not belong in the series.

Submit
25. Which one of the numbers does not belong in the following series? 9 - 7 - 8 - 6 - 7 - 5 - 6 - 3

Explanation

In the series 9 - 7 - 8 - 6 - 7 - 5 - 6 - 3, all the numbers decrease by 2 each time, except for the number 8, which increases from 7 to 8 instead of following the pattern. Thus, 8 is the number that does not belong in the sequence.

Submit
26. Which one of the five is least like the other four? COPPER - IRON - BRASS - TIN - LEAD

Explanation

The correct answer is Copper because it is the only one that is not a metal. Iron, brass, tin, and lead are all metals, whereas copper is a metalloid.
